## FOI Request - UAP Report
## Dear Section 40
Thank you for your letter of 28 April and for the copy of the DI55 report "Unidentified Aerial Phenomena in the UK Air Defence Region."
I do appreciate the amount of scrutiny this document has received and indeed I am pleased with the final result.
I have now had the opportunity to scrutinise the document carefully, especially in relation to information removed under the various qualified exemptions to the FOIA. I have noted the reasoning you have employed using the public interest test, but feel there are grounds to test this decision under the FOI legislation, particularly with regards to Section 27.
As a result, I wish to request an internal review of the decision to redact information under a) Sections 26 and b) Section 27. Please take these specific points into account when carrying out this review:
*The distribution list and number of copies [Executive Summary] has been redacted and marked "not relevant." However, in the DIS letter dated 4 December 2000 released under a previous FOI in 2005 the distribution list has not been removed. This anomaly suggests the reviewer has either been over-zealous or was unaware the distribution list had already been released. In my opinion the distribution list is hardly "not relevant" as it shows who received the report and who didn't, which is most certainly in the public interest.
*In Vol 1, pg 1, par 2 [Main Report] 'Historical Background' a line has been removed under Section 27 relating to the US Robertson Panel study of UFOs carried out in 1953. The context in which the material removed appears makes it obvious that the redaction relates to the CIA sponsorship of the study, a fact
